    I have a 2004 ford f-150 lariat supercrew 4 door truck. Each of the past 3 years i've had 3 window regulators break. To the day they are still not fixed because of cost issues,almost $200 each not including the $140 labor bill. What breaks is the plastic part that the cable is connected to. The first 2 window regulators broke quietly while the 3rd one made 2 loud pops and the window fell down. It is now winter and i…

    Power window regulators have a faulty plastic piece in them causing the window to just drop unexpectantly. I have read in some cases the window breaks. I have had two bad regulators go out now in an 8 week period and have a four door truck. I'm sure the other two are soon to follow *tr

    2004 ford f-150 truck window regulator failures. Recently, my driver's side window made a load popping sound, then fell into the door. I brought it into my ford dealership who informed me that this is a common problem where the regulator fails. The repair cost was $400. After doing some research, i've found hundreds of other cases where the 2004 f-150 model had window regulator failures. Please advise. *tr

    I attempted to raise my front passenger-side power window on my 2004 ford f-150 supercab. I heard a loud pop and the window began to lower automatically. When it was completely inside the door, it stopped. I am now unable to raise this window. I was personally at a stop when the window failed, however, there are numerous accounts of this failure occurring in moving vehicles creating a safety hazard. *tr

    I have a 2004 ford f-150. Over the last two years i have had to replace three of the four power window regulators. Just this last week the fourth one broke. I have spent approximately $250-$350 each time. I also have a father-in-law with the same year ford f-150 who has experienced the same issues. He has replaced three of the four, and knows it is just a matter of time before his fourth goes out. I have talked with…
